How to Have Brothers.
American Agriculturist.


Broilers have sold as high as eighty
cents per pound, wholesale, in the New
York markets this season. But it must
be kept in view that only the best young
chicks bring the high figures. Those
who make a speciality of broilers are
careful to breed them to n certain STAN
dard. SO as to combine quality as well as
weight, which is done by mating Ply
mouth Rock cocks with Asiatic hens
(Brahmas or COchins.) The chicken
must be dry picked, and the skin not
torn, while the crops should be empty
The pluInper the breast the better.
The main object at first in raising the
best broilers is to secure growth. The
chicks are therefore fed on food contain
ing plentiful supply of nitrogen and
phosphates. No food is given the newly
Matched chicks before they are thrty-six
hours old. The custom of feeding finely
chopped eggs as the first meal has been
abolished, experience having taught that
such food causes bowel disease. A mix
ture of one part corn meal. two parts
ground oats, one part middlings and one
part ground meat, to which little salt
and fine bone meal are added, is mixed
with boiling water or milk, and cooked
in the shape of bread. This is crumbled
and fed to the chicks every two hours,
except that one of the meals may con-
sist of mashed potatoes. After the first
week, screenings, wheat and ground
meat are kept in troughs where the
chicks can get them at any time, while
gravel and water are kept within reach.
After a few weeks they are fed only
three times a day on the mixed food

stead of cooked, though cooking is pref

An Orlando Murder.
Orlando Record.

Long after midnight on thursday
night two young men sat at table in a
small room on one of the principal streets
of this city. Between them. on the
table, was a bottle containing the liquid
which robs men of their reason and
prompts them to deeds of violence. Yes,
this deadly lemon soda had already be-
gun to muddle their brains, and lhey
were fast losing control of themselves
Sitting in the open window was n
friend of the other occupants of the
room.
Suddenly an empty bottle was hurled
at the youth who had sufficient stamina
to refrain from soiling his lips with the
liquid ON the table; this was followed
by two pistols in quick succession, and
with a moan of anguish the unoffending
occupant OF the window fell backward
and struck with n crash on the woodpile
underneath His two companions
brought now to their senses. fastened
to pick up the body, already quiveriug
in the throes of death. When a full re-
alization of their crime came over them
the murderers fastened to secrete the
body, and when the owner of that i'll
fated cat misses him he can recover the
remains by looking under pile of
boards in the rear of the Record office.

Bob InyersoiI or ImmigratiOn.

NuSn1flEtOn fO-t-
All foreigners are not good The same
remark may be made about natives.
Some foreigners are good, and probably
this same remark may be safely made
about the Americans themselves. On
the whole, the effect of immigration is
good. This country is capable of taking
care of 600. 00O. 900 people. A great ma
jority of the foreigners who come, come
with the intention of building home,
of purchasing land; come for the pur-
pose of getting an opportunity to work;
come for better wages, to better their
condition, and very large majority are
willing to work to the extent of their
strength. have not the slightest SYM
pathy with the people who are endeav-
oring to prevent the landing of immi-
grants on our shores. This country GER
tainly would not have been much with
out immigration. For my part. l do not
see why the emigrants of 1887 have not
just the same right to land on these
shores that the emigrants of 1920 had,
and some that are coming now are a
good deal better than some of those who
came then; they are altogether more
civilized, have better ideas as to the
rights of others, and have in far greater
degree the habit of attending to their
ON n business.

Pleasure Before business.

New FORK star.
Jacob Sharp is said to be a very sick
man, and it is believed by many that he
will not survive the ordeal through
which he is passing, of tedious trial
for bribery. He is certainly very old
and apparently quite feeble. but he is a
tenacious, tough old man, and venture
to predict that he pulls through, so far
as his health is concerned. But, sick or
not, MIR. Sharp manages to get to the
Blossom Club and indulge in his nightly
pastime of poker-I think that is the
name of some game of chance of which
he is said to be very fond. At any rate
he is too fond of it to let his legal tror-
bles interfere with the pastime and the
lack potts." as / hear some part of the
fascinating but mysterious game called.
Sharp in this respect resembles the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt. Some years
ago there was a serious accident ON the
Hudson River Railroad, in which sew
eral persons were killed. Mr.. Wander
bilt, then president of the road, was
called as witness, and testified that he
had received dispatch from the con-
ductor announcing the disaster and ask
ing that surgeons be sent to the aid of
the injured Mr.. Vanderbilt said he had
turned the dispatch over to the super 4
tendent- What else did you do. he
was asked. Nothing that l remember
was the reply; you see was engaged
at a game of whist at the time, and /
never let business interfere Mr.. Sharp
Is of the same mind as regards the more
alluring game Of poker.

A Gentle Scheme In Lemonade.

Chicago Tribune.
This Is lemonade, is it nOt! inquired
a light-haired gentleman blandly as he
stepped up in front of a stand on the
circus ground yesterday. The proprie-
tor replied that it was ice-cold lemonade,
and generously threw in the information
that the price was only five cents glass.
''Tll take a glass, if you please" said the
stranger, and it was placed before him.
IF there is anything I'm fond Of" he
continued with much affability, lit is "a
good Lemonade" and he drew lemon
from one of his pockets, cut hole in it,
and with great deliberation, squeezed
the juice into the glass. Then from an
other pocket he took spoon and small
paper sack filled with sugar, with which
he proceeded to sweeten the mixture
a crowd was gathering about him by
this time. and the proprietor of the re-
freshment stand was becoming red and
very moist. ''Tll give you half dollar
to go away from here he said to the
bland gentleman anxiously.
My friend" said the smiling Gus
toner, slipping with evident satisfaction
the beverage he had mixed, lit affords
me pleasure to say that this is the best
lemonade l ever drank ON a show ground
Here is your five cents" And he fin
ished the glass, paid his money and ell
bowed his way OUT through the crowd
Half an hour later the lemonade vender,
broke up in business and disguised in "A
pair of green goggles and a false beard,
was doing the three-card monte act in "a
secluded place among the canvas wag-
ons and looking about searchingly for

upon the events of yesterday. Some of

THAT GOULD TAKE-IN.


Another Version of the Affair More Prob
ably Than the First.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Everyone in Brooklyn is laughing in
New York-or everyone, at least in bust
ness-at Jay Goulds naive statement
that the owners of Western railr. 4
who wanted to fell out to him held
back the freight for ten days till be got
there" And at his subsequent stat
ment: Il saw train after train pull;r :
out from every station and thought the
business must be immense With the
desire behind the thought-so dearly
does the public like to see sharp man
outwitted for once-p~ople have con-
cluded in this instance that jay Gould
was thoroughly taken in. The in
ference, too, is justified from the
evidence he gave-so far as it went.
He had no motive in carrying it further
and the committee did not elicit any
more facts by any more questioning on
that subject. They were wiling to let
it stand that way, for it tickled them to
think that for once the bitter was bitten.
1t gratified Mr.. Gould's purposes to let
that idea go forth. One of the former
partners of the great financier is, how
ever, authority for the statement that
the whole or even half was not told. He
adds that Mr. Gould made as a condition
of the purchase "a comparison of the
shipments of that week with the ship
ments of corresponding weeks for two
months preceding and two months sue
ceeding the date of this contingent agree
ment." When i'm his small, neat hand
writing he, himself, wrote in condition
the countenances of the far
Westerners fell. Their Spokesman is
said to have smiled sickiy smile and
to- have remarked:
1--WE might as well be frank with you,
Mr.. Could"
''No; that's not necessary" MIR. Gould
replied. Your locomotives were frank
enough; they've been going by me in
numerical order all day, and l never
knew them to run i'm that order before.
You needn't be frank, but your train dis
patchers oughtto have known better than
to give you all away"
